In Saturday’s vote, 35,727 workers, or 78.05 percent of 45,777 that took part voted against the tentative wage deal reached with the management last week - the first time the disapproval ratio reached above 70 percent and also the first case in eight years that the union turned down annual salary package. The turnout reached 92.17 percent.
The setback came even as the management yielded to the major stumbling block of adopting the government-sponsored wage peak system that cuts salaries of older workers as they approach the retirement age to make room for young hire.
Unions opposed to the deal that proposed increase in base salary for next year at this year’s level, claiming that they cannot agree to three-year low in annual gain after 14 rounds of strikes.
Under the tentatively agreed wage deal, each worker would be subject to an increase in base monthly payment by 58,000 won ($51.5), receive 350 percent of the base payment as bonus as well as an additional 3.3 million won in incentives, receive 200,000 won worth of vouchers that can be used in traditional stores, and receive 10 Hyundai Motor stocks.
Field workers that have been in conflict with the labor union’s executive branch have been campaigning against the agreement claiming it to be de facto freeze in salary.
